Actually i was getting the feeling that there was at least one meaning. I took Kotomine Risei and Tohsaka Tokiomi to be opposites with Kirei being in the middle because he was both (and at the same time neither).

At least that's what my impression was. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a bit of paradox spiral in there as well.

The image I got from that scene was of predators circling their prey. I guess rather than taking it to mean Risei and Tokiomi were opposites, I got the sense that it symbolized how they were working together to control Kirei. So I got a sense of collusion.

I thought it was an interesting shot, so it's sort of funny to me that everyone's complaining about it.

Dang it Avalon, you c(XD LOL)-block Shirou and Reinforce, but don't protect his mind in other ways? What is wrong, you woman?
Friendship, be made! Magical power, gather! Starlight Breaker.... this world!

Not only that, but it seems the Blu-ray will include scenes that will be omitted from the TV airing. So not only will we be getting a stupid and pointless 3 month break after episode 12, we also won't even be watching the real complete and final product.

It's hardly pointless. If you want the movie quality to continue, taking a break is the better option. I prefer it.

Scenes being cut out from the TV broadcast and later added to the blu-ray release is pretty . I guess it's more to do with not having enough time, though i'd also bet there's a few scenes you wouldn't be able to show on TV.

But they've already shown

Spoiler for Episode 1:

a little naked girl being overwhelmed by penis shaped worms.

Hard to believe there's anything worse out there that they couldn't get away with at the midnight slot...

But I don't know the source material, so maybe there is, I suppose.

Still, pretty disappointing. I now feel I should wait till June to watch this so I get the final and complete experience, but that'd be pretty hard to do after having already watched dat first episode.

I mean, ufotable is just ridiculous. Aniplex order them for TV-Series, but they made movie quality animation instead. They are almost as crazy as Kyoani, in terms of there obsession to Sakuga.

As of Episode 1 they haven't made anything close to movie animation.... I mean if you want to consider most of episode 1 movie animation than *holds up random manga tank and flicks through it* tada, movie animation.

Lets wait until Episode 2 airs and some scenes are actually animated before we start the hyperbole please.

It took 3 months after the release of the first novel for the second to come out, 4 months after that the 3rd novel was released. Another 5 months and the 4th and final novel was released. Toughen up, novel readers had it worse, and if this split cour means we won't see a lack of animation and clear cost cutting like in the first episode again than I'm all for it.

^True, but the novel market and the animation one are very different. It is very strange to split one series into two (and that doesn't even mean two seasons), so it really kills the mood per se.

It's not very strange to make a split cour series, Horizon by Sunrise is going to be just that, Medaka Box which is rumored to be done by Gainax is also rumored to be split cour. The recently started airing Kimi to Boku is split cour, Natsume S3 and S4 is practically a split cour, The World Only God Knows was split cour.

Seconding Westlo and Horse here, I am ALL FOR IT if that means keeping the quality we have.

Yeah agree, but I'm just don't like the tonel ike this is like small size project involving random titles and scrubs working it.

The point is, this is MEGA project... They can put more development time instead taking a "break" in middle. If they planning makes 2 cours straightaway aired, they CAN do it, But its just not their decision. Some people can disappoint with that decision.

Agreed.

As much as I liked ep1, very little was actually animated. The high quality art, backgrounds and BGM certainly gave the episode a movie quality feel though.

A little disappointed to hear about the split season but i'm all for it if it's to maintain the quality, I just wished they'd announced it from the start so I wouldn't have hyped myself up for 25 weeks of non-stop awesome.
